Given a string of numbers and operators, return all possible results from computing all the different possible ways to group numbers and operators. The valid operators are +, - and *
Example 1
1
2
3
4
5
Input: "2-1-1".
((2-1)-1) = 0
(2-(1-1)) = 2
Output: [0, 2]
Example 2
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
Input: "2*3-4*5"
(2*(3-(4*5))) = -34
((2*3)-(4*5)) = -14
((2*(3-4))*5) = -10
(2*((3-4)*5)) = -10
(((2*3)-4)*5) = 10
Output: [-34, -14, -10, -10, 10]
